    1 New early Eocene Siricomorpha (Hymenoptera: Symphyta: Pamphiliidae, Siricidae, Cephidae) from the Okanagan Highlands, western North America S. Bruce Archibald,1 Alexandr P. Rasnitsyn Abstract—We describe three new genera and four new species (three named) of siricomorph sawflies (Hymenoptera: Symphyta) from the Ypresian (early Eocene) Okanagan Highlands: Pamphiliidae, Ulteramus republicensis new genus, new species from Republic, Washington, United States of America; Siricidae, Ypresiosirex orthosemos new genus, new species from McAbee, British Columbia, Canada; and Cephidae, Cuspilongus cachecreekensis new genus, new species from McAbee and another cephid treated as Cephinae species A from Horsefly River, British Columbia, Canada. These are the only currently established occurrences of any siricomorph family in the Ypresian. We treat the undescribed new siricoid from the Cretaceous Crato Formation of Brazil as belonging to the Pseudosiricidae, not Siricidae, and agree with various authors that the Ypresian Megapterites mirabilis Cockerell is an ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). The Miocene species Cephites oeningensis Heer and C. fragilis Heer, assigned to the Cephidae over a century and a half ago, are also ants. Many of the host plants that siricomporphs feed upon today first appeared in the Eocene, a number of these in the Okanagan Highlands in particular. The Okanagan Highlands sites where these wasps were found also had upper microthermal mean annual temperatures as are overwhelmingly preferred by most modern siricomorphs, but were uncommon

Towards simultaneous analysis of molecular and morphological data in Hymenoptera. Ð Zoologica Scripta 28, 251±260. Principles and methods of simultaneous analysis in cladistics are reviewed, and the first, preliminary, analysis of combined molecular and morphological data on higher level relationships in Hymenoptera is presented to exemplify these principles. The morphological data from Ronquist et al.

Genomes of the Hymenoptera Abstract Hymenoptera is the second-most sequenced arthropod order, with 52 publically archived genomes (71 with ants, reviewed elsewhere), however these genomes do not capture the breadth of this very diverse order (Figure 1, Table 1). These sequenced genomes represent only 15 of the 97 extant families. Although at least 55 other genomes are in progress in an additional 11 families (see Table 2), stinging wasps represent 35 (67%) of the available and 42 (76%) of the in progress genomes.

  • Insect Classification Standards 2020
    RECOMMENDED INSECT CLASSIFICATION FOR UGA ENTOMOLOGY CLASSES (2020) In an effort to standardize the hexapod classification systems being taught to our students by our faculty in multiple courses across three UGA campuses, I recommend that the Entomology Department adopts the basic system presented in the following textbook: Triplehorn, C.A. and N.F. Johnson. 2005. Borror and DeLong’s Introduction to the Study of Insects. 7th ed. Thomson Brooks/Cole, Belmont CA, 864 pp. This book was chosen for a variety of reasons. It is widely used in the U.S. as the textbook for Insect Taxonomy classes, including our class at UGA. It focuses on North American taxa. The authors were cautious, presenting changes only after they have been widely accepted by the taxonomic community. Below is an annotated summary of the T&J (2005) classification. Some of the more familiar taxa above the ordinal level are given in caps. Some of the more important and familiar suborders and families are indented and listed beneath each order. Note that this is neither an exhaustive nor representative list of suborders and families. It was provided simply to clarify which taxa are impacted by some of more important classification changes. Please consult T&J (2005) for information about taxa that are not listed below. Unfortunately, T&J (2005) is now badly outdated with respect to some significant classification changes. Therefore, in the classification standard provided below, some well corroborated and broadly accepted updates have been made to their classification scheme. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this classification.

A, 37(1), pp. 27–33, March 22, 2011 Host Plants and Larvae of Two Sawfly Species of the Pamphilius sylvaticus Group (Hymenoptera, Pamphiliidae) in Japan Akihiko Shinohara1 and Haruyoshi Kojima2 1 Department of Zoology, National Museum of Nature and Science, 3–23–1, Hyakunin-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, 169–0073 Japan E-mail: [email protected] 2 Kitanagaike 1198–1, Nagano-shi, Nagano, 381–0025 Japan (Received 10 December 2010; accepted 15 February 2011) Abstract Based on field observations and rearings from 2007 through 2010, mainly in Nagano Prefecture, central Honshu, Japan, host plants are newly recorded for two rare pamphiliid sawflies belonging to the Pamphilius sylvaticus group. The larva of Pamphilius daisenus Takeuchi, 1938, is a solitary leaf-roller on Aruncus dioicus (Walter) Fernald var. kamtschaticus (Maxim.) H. Hara (Rosaceae), and the larva of P. montanus montanus Shinohara, 1985, is a gregarious web-spinner on Sorbus commixta Hedl. (Rosaceae). Brief descriptions of the larvae and notes on the life history of the two species are given. Key words : Hymenoptera, Pamphiliidae, Pamphilius daisenus, Pamphilius montanus montanus, larvae, Aruncus, Sorbus, life history. The Pamphilius sylvaticus group is one of the tanus montanus, based on field observations and major species-groups in the sawfly genus Pam- rearing experiments mainly conducted in Nagano philius Latreille, 1802 (Shinohara, 2002). Known Prefecture, central Honshu, Japan, in 2007–2010. larvae of the component species are solitary or Notes on the life history and the immature stages gregarious leaf-rollers or web-spinners on are also given.

Keywords: Hymenoptera, Symphyta, Keszthely Hills, Hungary, rare species Introduction Keszthely Hills is the westernmost member of the Transdanubian Mountains. It is built of dolomite, and enriched with limestone formations. The basalt formations of Kovácsi Hill and Tátika-region are the results of the volcanic activity. The other part of the inves- tigated area is the coastal region of Lake Balaton. This region is mainly moorland and wet meadows which were originally part of the lake-bed and turned dry as a result of the water management in the 19th century. The vegetation is abundant from the sub-Mediterranean xerotherm steppes, through closed oak and beech forests to cold gorges that preserve glacial remains.
